Question

My browsers don't work

I have a problem with my internet. I know that it functions perfectly because i can access certain programs, e.g Msn messenger, Steam etc. AND i can access the internet with my isp's standard browser, Bt yahoo browser. However I can't access any websites with my other browsers (Safari, Mozzila firefox and IE. Now I thought that it might be the Proxy but I can't access the internet options so i suspect that it might be a virus but I've scanned my computer and checked task manager and nothing so can anyone help me please?

Rule 1, if you think you may

have a virus, you AV can no longer be trusted. It could have been compromised. Scan again using an on-line product like trend housecall, Panda, or Symantecs on-line. They are free. Also, on another computer, download and burn to cd a copy of antivir freehttp://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.htmland winsockfixhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.htmlinstall antivir and run a scan.If still no virus after antivir and on-line scan, try running winsock fix.Re-run the internet connection set up wizard...I know, but it could help reset default options...
